There are two schemes available with Jaypee Infratech Fixed Deposits namely non-cumulative deposits and cumulative deposits:

There are few websites that are giving misleading information that Jaypee Infratech Ltd is offering 15.07% interest fixed deposit. There is a difference between interest rate and yield. 15.07% is the yield if investor invests in 36 months cumulative deposit but the interest rate remains 12.50% only. Since the compounding is monthly, the yield is higher in this case. 12.50% interest rate and 15.07% yield is high compared to other fixed deposits however one should note that it is not possible to close this fixed deposit prematurely.
